Note FlightGear Launch Control has been superseded by the Qt Launcher. See Howto:Translate FlightGear to translate that launcher. |
FlightGear Launch Control, a graphical user interface to run FlightGear, has multi language support. Translating texts is pretty straight forward and a good way to contribute some cents to the community.
- Get the latest version of a language file from here. If there is not yet a file for your language, copy one of the others. All files contain the English texts.
- Modify the .po file by inserting/editing translated strings in msgstr strings, leaving msgid strings (those should always contain the English text) untouched.
- Send the file to FGRun developer Fred, by sending it to the devel-mailinglist.
